An ionic compound is always a combination of:
metal cation + nonmetal anion
[in a crystal lattice]
Covalent compounds are a combination of:
2+ non-metals
Ex) H2O
Identify the rule for naming ionic compounds
name of metal cation
+ non-metal anion ending with “-ide”
LiBr is what kind of compound?
Identify the full name
ionic
Lithium Bromide
What charge does calcium form?
+2
NaCl is
Sodium chloride
CaCl2 is:
calcium chloride
ionic compounds are always net __________
neutral
AlF3 is:
aluminum fluoride
CuCl is:
Copper (I) Chloride
CuCl2 is:
Copper (II) Chloride
Nomenclature rule for transition metals:
name of metal cation
add roman numeral for metal charge
+ non-metal anion ending with “-ide”
Au2O3 is:
Gold (III) Oxide
Ionic compounds are stable and do not melt until:
temperature reach thousands of degrees (C)
Covalent compounds usually react and decompose at:
much lower temperatures than ionic compounds, especially also when exposed to oxygen
Most ionic compounds readily fall apart into individual cations and anions as they:
dissolve in water at room temp
Covalent compounds remain as ________ __________ even when dissolved
intact molecules
When an ____________ is dissolved in water, individual ions can carry charge and complete circuits
electrolytes
___________ ions are the most stable version of many elements on planet earth out in nature
polyatomic
Polyatomic ions are not stable on their own and must be combined with:
a counter ion until they are net neutral
covalent compounds are also called-
molecular compounds
NO2 is :
nitrogen dioxide
Rule for naming covalent compounds:
prefix-element
prefix- element, -ide
skip prefix if first element is 1
H + a non-metal is:
binary acid
Rule for naming binary acids:
start with hydro
throw in part of element name
change ending to -ic acid
_______ have an oxygen, hydrogen, + usually 1 non-metal
oxyacids
Polyatomic ions-
Halogen + Oxygen all have what charge?
-1
For oxyacids, nomenclature rule is
-ate ending change to-
-ite ending change to-
-ate ending change to- -ic acid
-ite ending change to- -ous acid
